RE: [Utah-astronomy] Science Fair
by Michael Carnes 07 Jul '07

Don, you're cherry-picking your data. >I think there is still a controversy over how much economic development >contributes to global warming. While there is much yet to learn, the so-called controversy is largely clouding of the waters by those with an economic interest. Within the last month there's been renewed information of the rate of melting of the Greenland ice-sheet, in addition to melting in other zones, such as Mt. Kilimanjaro. Thousands of ice cores taken over the last century show that the ice goes back tens of thousands of years. If it had been as warm during the Roman era as your sources indicate, that ice would have melted then or would never have formed. Arctic permafrost that has been stable since the last ice age (as shown by the number of mammoths preserved in it) is rapidly turning to mush. Of course you can find a few scientists who disagree with this assessment, just like you can find a few scientists who don't like evolution. You can find a few scientists who believe in ghosts, in Sasquatch, in fairies, in alien abduction, and in all sorts of things. It is extremely rare in science that someone who goes against the grain is shown to be correct (Galileo, Kepler, etc). Most of them are just cranks.

If the earth's orbit were such that the season when the earth was closest to the sun was reversed it would lead to a cooler earth as more ice would accumulate on the Northern hemisphere. -----Original Message----- From: baxman2(a)comcast.net Sent: Friday, July 6, 2007 12:18 PM To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: [Utah-astronomy] FW: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5 Why isn't the date of the summer solitice, and the date of the farest distance of Earth from the Sun, not the same? -------------- Forwarded Message: -------------- From: utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com To: utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 53, Issue 5 Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2007 18:15:07 +0000 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request(a)mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner(a)mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

Hey Patrick, so how is the Clark Planetarium outreach program going these day's? ;) > "People still have to function in society, Cline said.

Congrats again on your position with Clark. ;) Quoting Patrick Wiggins <paw(a)wirelessbeehive.com>: > http://www.tooeletranscript.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=2… > > :) > > pw > > _______________________________________________ > Utah-Astronomy mailing list > Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com > http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy > Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Projection magnification - how many setups do you use?
by Kurt Fisher 05 Jul '07

05 Jul '07

As part of astro photography study, I spent a couple of weeks running through and testing permutations of flip mirrors, lenses and adapters to do positive and negative projection. This was for three fix-focal length scopes that I own: a 10 inch 1100mm fl Newt, a 1290mm fl 5 1/4 inch refractor and a PST. I still plan to get out an do the Ealing as the fourth scope (direct projection only, no projection). The general idea was to have a negative barlow and positive projection cookbook. This is a phamplet of 10-15 designs that I can refer to when I want to slap something on a scope, i.e. - assemble the adapters and roll the tube focuser tube back a pre-determined distance with confidence that I will be close to focus. Although I assume that most of you imagers here have moved on to variable focal-length SCTs (where getting your camera to prime focus is easier), is this typical for your own experience with fixed focal length scopes? Or do you just get one or two barlowed projection setups to work and stick with what you are comfortable with? - Kurt _______________________________________________ Sent via CSolutions - http://www.csolutions.net

Kilauea active
by Patrick Wiggins 05 Jul '07

Last month Rob posted a link to a web cam that keeps an eye on Kilauea. Up to now I've seen nothing but an occasional steam cloud. But I just checked and it looks like the whole caldera floor is breaking up. Impressive. Can't wait to see what it looks like in daylight. http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/cam/ Thanks for the link, Rob. pw
